She spoke no vessels connected with these colonies, on the passage out. t The "St. Vincent."-—This "vessel not having entered at the' Customs yesterday, we have not been able to obtain a copy of her manifest, but the principal articles specified in the cockets will be found in the Australian of the 7th instant. She has been 130 days on the passage, being detained eleven days in the Channel, and consequently brings news only one day later than that received three weeks since via India, She spoke no vessels on the passage^ The ship London and barque Royal Saxon were to leave London for Sydney, a few days after the St. Fincent. The barque Henrietta was laid on as the Postoffice packet for January. The Ralph Bernal, for New Zealand, and the Rajah, for Hobart Town, sailed from Deal on the 6th December.

The hreadth of it was about five miles, N.N.E. and S.S.W., lat. 9-20 S. long. 165-28 E.,by two good chronometers. —Another shoal is also given off Cape Pitt, bearing: N.N.W., distant eighteen miles; they got soundings of from five to twenty fathoms: it laid N. by W. and S. by E., being about six miles long E. and West., and about three miles wide. A shoal was also observed off the Eddystone, on the island of Simbo, distant frnm five to six miles, bearing N.N.W.. with from ten to twenty fathoms, and a strong ripple on it at times. None of the above were laid down in the charts which Captain Bunker had on board.—Herald
